TURIN, Italy (AP) — The Serie A soccer derby between Juventus and Torino kicked off around an hour late after a fan was seriously injured in clashes between rival supporters outside the stadium on Sunday.

The Juventus fan is reportedly in serious but not life-threatening condition in hospital.

Juventus’ ultras — hard-core supporters — caused a delay to kickoff as they wanted the match to be postponed as a sign of support for the injured fan.

They had threatened a field invasion if the match went ahead but instead left the stadium before kickoff.

The other four games scheduled for Sunday evening kicked off around 10 minutes behind schedule, after waiting for updates from Turin.

Australian watchdog files legal action against Telegram, saying it failed to remove violent content

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Australia’s online safety watchdog has filed legal action against messaging app Telegram, saying the platform failed to remove extremist content including videos of white supremacist mass shootings in Buffalo, New York, and the New Zealand city of Christchurch as well as Islamic State group beheadings. The United Arab Emirates-based app, which reports having 1 billion users worldwide, faces a fine of up to 54.6 million Australian dollars ($38 million) if convicted in the Australian Federal Court for “alleged failure to detect and remove pro-terror material,” eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant said Thursday. The civil action is a test of Australia's 2021 law requiring tech platforms to work to keep illegal and pro-terrorism material off their networks. Telegram denied the claims. “We reject these allegations and will contest them in court,” a spokesperson said in a written statement sent on Telegram.
